Analysis Update to LFS-UPC and SpinPWG

eTOF run19 performance

Below are some performance plots of the eTOF produced with the fast offline data from runs 20066013 and 20066020.

Update 03.08.2019 -- Run 9 embedding: pi0- vs. hadron-triggered pTtrk distributions

The plot continues to thicken surrounding the tracking efficiency mystery.  This time around, I'm investigating whether or not there's a physics difference between pi0 and charged hadron triggers

iTPC QA run 19

 
History of bad/DEAD FEEs and channels. Will be updated as run goes along (last July 15, 2019). Updated plot with corrected sinngle FEEs Jan 2022

Update 03.07.2019 -- Run 9 pp: efficiency double check

This is a brief interlude in my journey to figure out what's different between our Pythia8 simulation and embedding.  I wanted to see if it mattered one way or the other with how I calculated the

Update 02.27.2019 -- Run 9 pp: efficiency episodes

So, my investigation into the Run 9 efficiency continues, and it's only getting more confusing.  Previous studies can be found here:

iTPC sector 3 issue

 
The issue has been resolved. There was a cabling issue that resulted in outer sector voltage 1390V was applied to inner sector 1.

Update 02.19.2019 -- Run 9 pp: track efficiency vs eTtrg

The next episode in my investigation of the run 9 tracking efficiency: how does it vary with trigger eT?  The previous installments can be found here:

Update 02.05.2019 -- Run 9 pp: (detector-level) Pythia8 rebin and ratio to Embedding

[Recorded on 02.19.2019] This is a follow-up from the previous post.

Update 02.04.2019 -- Run 9 pp: comparing tracks, Pythia8 vs. Embedding

[Recorded on 02.19.2019] This post continues the line of inquiry laid out in these posts:
